You push the shovel along the ground under the pile , never into it . You can shovel coal with ease if you go under it , you would never try to push a shovel into it.

Unfortunately it's not on a nice hard smooth surface but I'm sure the same principle applies, thanks.

I had a go with my Cornish shovel using proper technique... Night and day difference. Makes me feel the task is not impossible. Might get a short handled version still though.

Thanks all
